who we are

At Explore CRS we recruit international teachers and provide consultancy services to the international school sector, with a particular focus on the wider Asia region. Based in Shanghai, we know what operating in this sector means for daily life and work.

Our primary concern is ensuring we provide an honest and efficient service to bring the right people together. It is important to us to understand a school’s vision and a teaching candidate’s career goals. It’s our job to bring these two elements together and find the right fit.

stand out from the crowd

Exploration is fundamental to learning and this is especially true within the international education sector. Whether you are in a teaching job mentoring students, leaders running schools, or most importantly, students and their families – we all have to take a step into the unknown from time to time. It’s what makes life exciting and keeps us passionate and dedicated to what we do.

join the community

Our team is made up of people who understand expat life. Explore CRS was born in Shanghai, China so we know what operating in this sector means for daily life and work. We pride ourselves on being able to truly understand the complex issues schools face and provide valuable insight and advice to international educators.

for candidates

We take your career seriously and we understand the unique requirements an expat teaching candidate can have and will support you in your professional and international exploration.

We have helped countless educators find rewarding international education jobs in East Asia, Southeast Asia, and the Middle East. We have made it our business to understand this extremely rapidly growing market and to ensure we represent your search for the right teaching job with honesty and integrity.

for schools

The international education sector continues to grow at lightning speed which is exhilarating but also demands immaculate attention to detail, commitment and professionalism. We have made it our mission to understand how to recruit international teachers that will be the right fit for your school.

By concentrating our efforts on schools in Asia (including the Middle East), Explore CRS is able to provide both specialist and local support to those schools in the region. Here are a few ways in which we can support your international teacher recruitment needs:

1. Recruitment Fairs and database service (open from 1st December to 31st March annually)

2. A full search and referral service for individual teaching job appointments and school leadership searches (available throughout the academic year)

our recruitment fairs

"We have worked with Explore CRS for three years now and they have consistently provided us with excellent service. The personalised approach, high quality candidates and efficient and effective Fairs (which include the unique aspect of some PD for attendees) mean they have become our first port of call for our recruitment needs."

"Thank you so much for your time and effort in making it a valuable experience for all. My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed the process due to the warm and friendly atmosphere of the Fair created by the Explore CRS team, fellow candidates and school interviewers. We were hugely impressed by the PDs on ‘Assessment for Learning’, ‘Managing People’ and ‘Surviving the Recruitment Process’ and feel refreshed and encouraged by them. Thank you again for all your efforts."

"We had recruiters attend three other international Fairs, but the Explore CRS UAE event was our most successful by far. So thank you!"

"The Explore CRS Fair was my first job Fair, and from what I heard from other candidates and employers it was a very positive experience for everyone involved. It didn't feel like a cattle call (as I'm told some of the Fairs can turn into) and it was nice to be able to socialize with other candidates without feeling like they were your competition. I will definitely recommend Explore CRS to my friends in the education field."

"Having used Explore CRS for staff recruitment since they started, the Shanghai Recruitment Fair was exactly what I expected: smooth, focused, friendly and productive. Explore CRS provided the right quality of candidates in a range of disciplines and grade levels, and the event was conducted in an atmosphere that was both productive and friendly. The service provided by the Explore CRS team was second to none."

"I don't know what I expected out of the Fair initially, but it was hands down the best run job Fair I have ever attended. Thank you for you and your staffs’ help throughout the week."
